“ We had a great experience! The Tuscan shrimp and scallops were fresh and full of flavor. The filet was one of the best. Medium rare was spot on. The Saturday Prime rib special had great flavor. We are heading back there again! ”

Great experience and phenomenal food. Try it you will like it. Owner adds a home touch to eating at Zachary's ”
“ Patio area was nice. Server was good, but forgot that we ordered an appetizer and she brought the soup a short while after the appetizer. Our food was good, but one in our party ordered the filet cooked medium, and it was a little tough. The baked goat cheese appetizer is not to be missed. It was so good! ”
“ We were out with another couple this Thursday. Excellent service! Water and bread delivered almost immediately. One person ordered Schnitzel - mashed potatoes and vegetables- fantastic! Another person ordered Ribs - sweat potatoes- delicious! Third person ordered Filet mignon - bearnaise sauce, green beans and potatoes on side. I had Caesar salad and chicken soup - very good! Most of all I commend the server. We had not been there for 1 1/2 months- but this wonderful server, Cindy, knew everyone's special requests from our previous dining from memory. Never writes any notes for orders - Just excellent!!!! Thank you, Cindy!! - From ALL of us!!! ”
“ This is a hidden JEM!!!! Amazing service, food and ambiance. Dawn was amazing. She was so attentive and sweet. Food was to die for. Had the red pepper and feta spread app( sorry no pic, we were starving). We had the grouper and walleye and man.... It could not have been prepared better. This place is a must try for anyone who wants great food, service and a chill atmosphere. Fyi. Shorts and a T-shirt was totally acceptable for a Friday night! ”
“ Great greeting at the door! We did make reservations yet we arrived a bit before the dinner crowd. Our waitress came right over greeted us and welcomed us as well. The Menu looked great with descriptions of each meal. Along with the daily menu there was a menu with specials. One person in our party ordered Calamari for the appetizer along with placing our beverage order. Not long after everyone placed our orders the Calamari arrived and smelled fresh. Those at the table who tasted it...was delicious. We could tell it was not a frozen product. With each meal there is soup or salad. Most of us ordered the Clam Chowder and it was unanimously delicious! This is generally not a description Everyone has in a party of our size. I ordered one of the specials which was the Swordfish. It was DELICIOUS! Everyone else indicated they really enjoyed their meals. The entire experience was pleasant. I highly recommend this restaurant. ”
“ If you're looking for a place that feels fancy, this is a good one. With white table clothes, beautiful cocktails, and them boxing up your leftovers for you, it feels like a slice of luxury in the suburbs. But do note, the crowd was pretty casually dressed with many people in jeans and a waiter in shorts. For food, I got the Sicilian Chicken & Roasted Potatoes with the House Salad and stuck with the Champagne Vinaigrette dressing. It was really good, but I do have a few notes: the salad was overly dressed for my liking; the Chicken portion was large, but I didn't feel like the potato ratio was quite right; perhaps it was just the menu items I was considering based on my choice of meats/seafood, but I felt like a lot of the entrees didn't come with a vegetable unless you consider the salad (which I don't). My waitress was fairly helpful and I love that she offered a Half Pour of wine when I mentioned not wanting a whole glass - it's half the wine for half the price, and I thought the Pinot Grigio went perfectly with my meal! Things to know: the restaurant is located in a Plaza of sorts with plenty of parking. And the table came with a bread basket and the portions were large, so the prices felt reasonable. I would look forward to coming back and having the chance to try something else off the menu, possibly one of the seasonal entrees that the chef just added! ”
“ Oh my! This Palos Heights restaurant is beyond fantastic! I have no idea how this chef can create such an imaginative menu with such depth and creativity. I would order anything off of that menu. How the heck do you do it Zachary? Dining room is lovely, the bar is beautiful (I could do without the TVs, but it kind of had a little ambience for even people that don't watch TVs). And now an outdoor patio with charming string lights. I was a prep cook, and a sous chef on Cape Cod and I have never had chicken soup this good - everything about it was perfect and my dining partner loved it as well. We also ordered the pork belly with jalapeño sauce, which was a perfect glaze and the chicken entrée was yummy. The waitress brought me a most lovely Sauvignon Blanc out of intuition. I'm going back very soon because I don't think I'll rest until I try everything on that menu which was extensive - see you again soon Zachary's! ”
“ My friends baby shower was here and it was lovely! The restaurant was open just for our party. The space itself is modern and has a nice vibe to it. The space definitely worked well for the shower too. They have a large circular bar that was open for drinks and they made a killer red sangria! Yum! The food was so good! We had cream of chicken soup and then a choice between chicken and salmon for the entree. Our whole table picked the chicken, so I did not get to see what the salmon looked like, but my friend said it was good! The cream of chicken soup was delicious. It has a spice in it, like maybe some cumin? It gave it a smoky/spicy (But not hot spicy) quality that was very good. The bread came out hot and fresh to go with it. It was served with a yummy herbed butter. I could've eaten that all day long! The chicken was super big, well cooked and very crispy. It was topped with arugula and tomato and a vinaigrette too, I believe. The chicken needed a bit more salt to take it over the top but it was still really enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this place for a meal or event! ”
